Australia’s first pop-up waterpark is set to make a splash in Perth, when Xscape at the City arrives at the Belmont Park Racecourse for a six-month run in November.

Designed and operated by Australia-based Amusement Leisure Consultants, the attraction's premier feature is the fully demountable balloon/air slide – the tallest waterslide in the world in its class. The twin lane slide is 23m (75ft) high and 110m (360ft) in length. Designed by Florida-based Freestyle Inc of St Petersburg, sliders will reach speed of up to 50kmph (31mph) as they descend on the record breaking feature.

Other attractions at the park include a four-lane, 15.8m (51.8ft) slide and a smaller 8.5m (27.8ft) slide, both of which are also by Freestyle. A 25m (82ft) long pool also comes as part of the pop-up, with a second 25m kids pool featuring six small slides. Dry rides are also included, with 18 trampolines and a 70m (229ft) inflatable obstacle course.

In addition to Freestyle, Neptune Benson have also supplied the park, which uses the manufacturer’s state-of-the-art filtration system.

Speaking to AM2, Amusement Leisure Consultants director Nasir David said: “Public health and water conservation is paramount for us, hence we have partnered with Neptune Benson for their high quality and low water wastage.”

With the pop-up confirmed for Perth from November 2015 to April 2016, David added that the park will then travel to other cities in Australia, which will be announced at a later date.
